Sometimes our intrepid men of the Seaview are sent on covert or undercover operations, including exotic locales, this was one such operation, though not without problems....

"Will somebody PLEASE get the Captain back here! I can't figure this new design out!"

And then there were other problems...

YOU SENT YOUR SPY TEAM TO A DUDE RANCH, NOT THE NUDE RANCH WHERE BOND IS BEING HELD PRISONER.

WE REALIZE THAT COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS ARE WIDESPRED WITH THE ADVANCE OF CELLPHONE TECHNOLOGY, BUT USE YOUR BLASTED RADIO FOR TOP SECRET MESSAGES IN THE FUTURE.

DON'T GET HUFFY WITH US, WE'RE ONLY DOING THIS AS A FAVOR. WE'VE INFORMED THE TEAM OF THE CORRECTION.

WHAT THE HELL'S TAKING THEM SO LONG? IT'S BEEN A WEEK! IT CAN'T BE THAT DIFFICULT TO RESCUE BOND.

TO: ONI

ARE YOU SURE BOND WANT'S TO BE RESCUED? NELSON

FROM: ONI

TO: SSRN SEAVIEW

ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY? MI-5 IS MOST ANXIOUS. BOND IS THEIR MOST VALUABLE AGENT. HE MUST BE BADLY INJURED FOR THEM TO EVEN SEEK OUR ASSISTANCE. GET A MOVE ON.

TO: ONI

WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR TEAM SINCE WE TRANSMITTED THE CORRECTION. FEAR TEAM MAY BE LOST.NELSON

TO: SSRN SEAVIEW

HAVE JUST BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED BY MI-5 THAT BOND RETURNED TO LONDON TWO DAYS AGO, AND SAID HE GOT AWAY FROM THE BAD GUYS EASILY.

FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW

TO: ONI

AND THEY ONLY JUST NOW INFORMED YOU? WHAT ABOUT MY MEN?NELSON

FROM: ONI

TO: SSRN SEAVIEW

WELL, SORRRRYYYY. THEY VOLUNTEERED TO BE FIELD AGENTS AFTER ALL. THEY KNEW THE RISKS.

FROM: SSRN SEAVIEW

TO: ONI

TEAM HAS MANAGED TO RETURN TO SEAVIEW. YOU'LL BE BILLED FOR THE EXTRA CALAMINE LOTION WE'LL BE NEEDING. IN SPITE OF THEIR ORDEAL OF PUNCHING OUT THE BAD GUYS, DOC SAYS BOTH ARE SUFFERING FROM ACUTE HAPPINESS. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DISRUPTIVE A HAPPY CAPTAIN IS TO A FUNCTIONING CREW? NELSON

FROM: ONI

TO: SSRN SEAVIEW

AS SOON AS THEY'VE RE-COVERED, THAT'S A PUN, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, WE HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE ASSIGNMENT WE'D LIKE THEM TO GO ON.
